It's nothing new. Kids have been dying out there for years. I forget how many died out there while I was in High School, but if I recall correctly it was 3-5 per year at least. At the time, it seemed like all the time. <edit> I asssume you're referring to this? http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/news/071...eadlyrace.html
The best thing to do is what I did then, stay away.

Yeah, be careful out there. Last time I was there was about a year ago and a guy pulled a gun on another guy that was standing right in front of me. I don't think I've ever run as fast as I did when I saw that gun pointed in my direction. I havent gone back since. Don't care for the crowd. Just too many stupid F**ks out there.

That place gets busted 3-5 times a NIGHT. Everytime i go out there to check it out, there are already cops there. Everyone congregates at that gas station now. Just a bunch of hispanic guys in civics doing dumb **** now. It used to be fun.

I used to watch the races back when i was in high school bout 12yrs ago. It was good back then. I recently went back just to check it out and stopped at the gas station on Rankin. There was this idiot in a Fox Body mustang doing burnouts in the parking lot acting a fool and almost hit a few cars. I guess he thought he was cool and wanted to show off his wanna be drifting skills. He must have thought he was an Initial D character. Its, idiots like him that mess it up for everyone else.

I use to go 20 yrs ago and it was even better then. You had trailer queens racing each other like you have at HRP but did not cost you a thing and the cops watched all night till they got tired and went home for the next shift change...

ha, I was out there about two months ago and someone was shot about 30 feet from me. I didnt know it was possible to jump and sh*t at the same time But there are good races from time to time, you just have to know when they are and they are NEVER at good night... always at mitsubishi, imo..
